What is a sensory diet? How is it different from treatment?
A sensory diet is a daily or weekly list of activities that the child can engage in during regular routines to help maintain an optimal state of arousal. Sensory diet activities can also provide greater body awareness prior to performing skilled tasks. Although a sensory diet is developed by a therapist trained in sensory integration and can be an adjunct to treatment, it can also be implemented by parents, teachers, or clients themselves.
